It’s a Hard-Knock Life

[ORPHANS]
It's a hard-knock life for us!
It's a hard-knock life for us! [ANNIE]
'Stead of treated[ORPHANS]
We get tricked![ANNIE]
'Stead of kisses[ORPHANS]
We get kicked![ALL]
It's a hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of, so
It's a hard-knock row we ho[ANNIE]
Cotton blanket[ORPHANS]
'stead a wool
[ANNIE]
Empty Bellies[ORPHANS]
'Stead a full![ALL]
It's a hard-knock life![ANNIE]
Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin?[KATE & TESSA]
Don't it seem like there's never any light![ANNIE & MOLLY]
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?[PEPPER & JULY]
It's easier than putting up a fight[ANNIE]
No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy!
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy
[ALL]
From the crying you would think this place's would sink!
Ohhhh
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life![MOLLY]
Santa Claus we never see[ANNIE]
Santa Claus, what's that?
Who's he?[ALL]
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in a orphanage
It's a hard knock life[MOLLY]
(Making a whistling sound and imitating Miss Hannigan)
You'll stay up till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building[ORPHANS (Except Molly)]
Yank the whiskers from her chin
Jab her with a safety Pin
Make her drink a Mickey Finn
I love you Miss Hannigan
[Molly]
Get to work!
Strip them beds!
Scrub that floor!
Polish my shoes!
And I mean
Start
NOW![ALL]
It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a smidge
When your in a orphanage
It's a hard-knock life!
It's a hard-knock life!
It's a hard-knock life!!!
